One day Zechariah’s group was on duty. He was serving as a priest in God’s temple.

Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty,

One day Zechariah was serving God in the Temple, for his order was on duty that week.

When his division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,

Now it happened that while he was performing his priestly service before God in the appointed order of his division,

So it was, that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division,

Now it came to pass, while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,

When his division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,

And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his course,

Now while Zechariah was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty,

Now while he executed the priest’s office before God in the order of his division,

This was their appointed order of ministering when they entered the temple of the Lord, according to the regulations prescribed for them by their ancestor Aaron, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded him.

In keeping with the ordinance of his father David, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their duties, and the Levites to lead the praise and to assist the priests according to each day’s requirement. He also appointed the gatekeepers by divisions for the various gates, because this was what David the man of God had ordered.

Hezekiah assigned the priests and Levites to divisions— each of them according to their duties as priests or Levites— to offer burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, to minister, to give thanks and to sing praises at the gates of the Lord’s dwelling.

In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron.

After you put these clothes on your brother Aaron and his sons, anoint and ordain them. Consecrate them so they may serve me as priests.

And they installed the priests in their divisions and the Levites in their groups for the service of God at Jerusalem, according to what is written in the Book of Moses.

The Levites even abandoned their pasturelands and property and came to Judah and Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them as priests of the Lord

and fasten caps on them. Then tie sashes on Aaron and his sons. The priesthood is theirs by a lasting ordinance.“ Then you shall ordain Aaron and his sons.

“ Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them so they may serve me as priests.

But only you and your sons may serve as priests in connection with everything at the altar and inside the curtain. I am giving you the service of the priesthood as a gift. Anyone else who comes near the sanctuary is to be put to death.”

“ This is what you are to do to consecrate them, so they may serve me as priests: Take a young bull and two rams without defect.

As for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who lived on the farm lands around their towns or in any other towns, men were designated by name to distribute portions to every male among them and to all who were recorded in the genealogies of the Levites.

“ Have Aaron your brother brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, so they may serve me as priests.

“ So I will consecrate the tent of meeting and the altar and will consecrate Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests.

But Nadab and Abihu died before their father did, and they had no sons; so Eleazar and Ithamar served as the priests.
